Investigating Bacterial Motion for New Treatment Strategies
Posted by Conn Hastings on
Researchers at Florida State University have developed a 3D model that examines how the bacterium Helicobacter pylori moves through viscous fluids.

The CT FIRST Trial: Should We Pan-CT After ROSC?
Posted by Marco Torres on
Background: Achieving ROSC in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is no easy feat but, care doesn’t end with ROSC. Post-ROSC management is nuanced and challenging but helps to ensure good outcomes. Identification of the underlying cause of the cardiac arrest is a critical area of focus in post-arrest care. Although myocardial infarction, dysrhythmias and pulmonary emboli are common pathologies to consider, there are a host of other causes including subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma and electrolyte disturbances. In theory, rapid identification of the underlying cause should improve outcomes by allowing clinicians to tailor management. Advanced imaging post-arrest is a possible modality to achieve this end.
